Measuring trees for Louisiana/National big tree registry

Does anyone on the OB have experience measuring trees for either a state or national big tree registry?
I have a monstrous pecan tree in my back yard that I am thinking about trying to register, but it forks pretty low to the ground. I am uncertain if it would be counted as independent trees or not in regards to determining the dbh. Anyone with experience want to comment?

No idea for this, but as a standard when selling we measure diameter 6" above the ground. Sorry, thats all I can offer.

i think girth is measured at 4' or 5' from the ground. Also takes into account the crown spread and height.

I think my dad put and oak tree at our family land on the registry. Maybe he was just talking about doing it. This joker is bigger than any tree I've ever seen.

It's a shame so few people do this. The ones who do make the list appear over represented in some regions. Look at how many in the Vernon Parish area. An avid measurer lives there.

Interestingly, no Bama fans have posted in this thread 
BTW, by registering, what occurs?
